Follow the network operating system (NOS) installation instructions provided in this document in sequential order unless these instructions advise you otherwise. Windows and messages might differ from those in this document. Throughout this document, the term select is used to denote the use of arrow keys, the tab key, or Alt + a letter combination to make a selection from a menu. The term click is used to denote the use of a mouse to make a selection.

You must have the following software and hardware for the installation:

• SCO UnixWare Release 7.1.4 Standard Media Kit.
• At minimum, a certificate of license and authenticity for SCO UnixWare release 7.1.4 Enterprise Edition.
• UnixWare 7.1.4 Maintenance Pack 1 or later. Go to ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/714/mp/

To avoid a server startup failure after you install the SCSI controller, you must disable the integrated drive electronics (IDE) controller from BIOS or disconnect the IDE cable from the hard disk drive before you install SCO UnixWare release 7.1.4 on a SCSI controller or an IBM eServer xSeries IDE server.

Complete the following steps to install SCO UnixWare release 7.1.4:

1. Turn on the server, then insert the SCO UnixWare release 7.1.4 Installation CD 1 into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Follow the instructions that guide you through the installation process.
3. In the Installing HBA Diskettes window, complete the following steps:
   • If your server has an IBM ServeRAID adapter, install the IBM ServeRAID device drivers for SCO UnixWare or Open UNIX. Insert the IPS HBA diskette into the diskette drive, select Install HBA Diskette and press F10.
   • If your server comes with an integrated SCSI controller, select Proceed with installation and press F10.
   • If your server comes with an IDE hard disk drive only without any SCSI controller, select Proceed with installation and press F10.
4. In the Network configuration window, select Defer network configuration.
5. In the Selecting the Mouse window, select PS/2-compatible Mouse.
6. To install the applicable packages, log in as root and install the UnixWare 7.1.4 Maintenance Set. Go to ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/714/mp/.
   
   

Complete the steps in the following sections to install SCO UnixWare release 7.1.4.

Note: Network adapters can be installed and configured during or after the installation.

Complete the following steps to prepare the hardware:

1. Disconnect the server from the power source and remove the server cover.
2. If problems occur when you attempt to install multiple adapters or devices, for the initial installation, remove all adapters and devices that are not required for the base operating system to be installed. Disconnect any tape drives or external SCSI devices temporarily. After the operating system is starting without errors, reinstall the removed adapters and devices one at a time. This procedure simplifies the installation process.
3. If you plan to use an external storage enclosure, set up the enclosure using the instructions that come with the enclosure; then, continue with 4.2 Setting up the server. Otherwise, continue with step 4.
4. Install the hard disk drives in the drive bays.
5. Install the server cover.
6. Connect the server to the power source.
   
   

1. Turn on the server.
2. When the IBM logo is displayed, press F1 to start the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
3. Make sure that the BIOS code is at the latest revision level that is available from the IBM Web site or FTP site.
   • If you need to update the BIOS code, you must also update the diagnostics code and the service processor firmware. Continue with 4.2.1 Updating the BIOS code.
   • If you do not need to update the BIOS code, you will need to restore the factory defaults. Go to 4.3 Configuring hard disk drives using the LSI SCSI controller.
